Sleepy

headed out - the night was new
took a minute; taking two
and it felt like you could make a few
long walks
but no one knew the route

there ran a stretch all dense with trees
along a field; we stood beneath
and in the leaves we saw
a dazzling show
like vegas set on low

something told me it was not every day
you could see world lit up this way
like a christmas tree trying to say
these bugs are getting down

what i saw in the day
just some woods - not much else to say

what i saw made me feel alive
by the light of the fireflies
got me thinking everything is fine
but was it fine? you know it. you know.

there ran a stretch all dense with trees
along a field; we stood beneath
and in the leaves we saw
a dazzling show
a thousand flashing glows

in this place in the wintertime
just some bark, rotting leaves, and grime

there were times i’d look with wonder
at the simple things i’d find
but they cannot hold a candle
to the loves that i call mine
